To prepare Creamy Garlic Sauce Baby Potatoes, follow these straightforward steps:
1. Wash Potatoes: Rinse the baby potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt, then pat them dry.
2. Boil Potatoes: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add baby potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3. Drain Potatoes: Once cooked, drain the potatoes and set them aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant but not browned.
5. Add Cream: Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine with the garlic butter.
6. Season: Mix in salt, pepper, and thyme. Let the cream mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
7. Combine Potatoes: Carefully add the drained baby potatoes to the creamy sauce, stirring gently to coat them well.
8. Add Cheese: If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes and stir until melted and combined.
9. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
10. Serve: Dish out the creamy garlic sauce baby potatoes onto plates or a serving dish, and enjoy!
